Top reasons I cant wait for Stormblood

[DamianFatale]

1. The Au Ra clans have homelands. Now I don't feel like I'm shoehorned in the game. I feel more like my race was an early introduction.
2. The Japanese styled music. I'm truly optimistic about it, due to my love for other cultural forms of classical music.
3. Samurai! This class looks like its going to be great. I'm also fond of the running animations, and sword sheaths. It's nice to know that Ninja won't be the only class with a unique animation. It's also nice to have a place to rest my sword.
4. New cities! I can't believe we're getting four. Rhalgrs Reach, Kugane, Ala Mhigo, and Doma. That brings the number of currently visitable cities to ten, if you add Gridania, Uldah, Limsa Lominsa, Ishgard, Mor dohna, Idyllshire, Kugane, Rhalgrs Reach, Ala Mhigo, and Doma all together. I obviously didn't count places like Tailfeather, and Falcons Nest. Those are towns, not cities. They're nice to have though.
5. The underwater town that has been shown, makes me very fascinated by the Kojin. I'm excited to form a friendship with them in the Stormblood expansion. I'm also eager to explore the new dungeon Shishui of the Violet Tides. The fact that it's under water excites me! The new mechanics that I think I am noticing also excites me. I am mystified.
6. Yotsuyu. I can't wait to kick her butt out of my homeland! She's an insufferable prick, and I hope she dies.
7. Lakshmi. It really amazes me that they picked such an obscure primal, from my favorite solo Final Fantasy game. I'm eager to find out what they'll do with her.
8. The Sea of Jade looks like the ocean in Pokemon Ruby, and Sapphire! You have the adorable bubbly diving animation, the shallow pools that you can stand on, and the ability to explore.
9. Ala Mhigo is part of Eorzea, and it has annoyed me greatly, that a city still stands under Garlean control. It's time to take it back!
10. New mount speeds! I am eager to be able to travel in old areas, with much more haste! I just fear that due to the mount speeds, the developers may never give 2.0 areas the flying feature.

I'm sick of the negativity on the forums, I just thought I'd share some more positive thoughts, but not everyone can be pleased.

It seems like it's been nothing but doom and gloom since the press embargo was lifted, and we got the full details on changes to jobs. Nothing but "This job is ruined!", "SE destroyed so and so!", "It's useless, no one will play it!", really disheartening stuff all around.

But amidst all that doom and gloom those details brought, I for one got super excited by the skill set revealed for Red Mage, and absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on and play it for myself now.

Up until recently I was not hyped at all about Stormblood, but now I definitely am!

All the areas look beautiful. I'm excited about the Fringes, the Steppes, and the Ruby Sea in particular - if I remember correctly, Oni Island (or something that looks very similar) is in the Ruby Sea so I cannot wait to see what is in "Oni Island". Dungeon perhaps?
I am also very excited for RDM. It's going to look great on my character and now I can finally be the class I am ICly.
Finally... I'm pretty excited about new hunt/super FATE mobs? I suppose it's something really small to get excited over because they are just open world mobs but I like hunting. So there is that.

We're aware.

I mean, people only have to look through your post history to see that you've brought all these points up before in similar threads.

[Lauront]

Whilst I can only echo Graeham's point...

RDM!

New combat system has me interested for sure. Thinking of maining SAM this time around.... or WHM just so there are people who heal.

Exactly! I'm okay with a bit of doom and gloom. People have the full right to be unhappy, and they should be! No one should be forced to be happy, when they are not, but it is important to be mindful. Too much doom and gloom can have negative reactions on people. Hence this mostly positive post.
